[@claudiacole6828]

Valerie, I get magnetic vent covers from either Ace Hardware or Lowes and cut them to whatever size I want. The cost is about $6.00 for 3 sheets that are 8"x15". I found them to be the most cost effective way to store my dies. Hope this helps.

I had no idea there are different types of snips for different angles, wow eye opener! Thanks to your husband for showing how it’s done. He sounds cute too!

[@celinafeddes5924]

Dawn, your husband did a great job demonstrating how to separate the dies. Very knowledgeable tutorial, Thankyou to you both. ♥️ your channel.

I appreciate you and your husband doing this video. My husband cut my butterfly dies apart this morning after watching the video. Thanks for showing how to make this beautiful set a lot more user friendly!

[@conniewoldstad9942]

Thank you for showing this. Some of those were so close together. Your husband did a great job

Great idea, to cut the butterflies apart! Brilliant!

[@juliebergacker5680]

Awesome! And thank your honey for doing the CUTTING and showing the different cutters. Now, I will my find my honey and show him this! Again thank you both 👏👍

[@sandyfowler1139]

Your husband was SO BRAVE to make that first cut into the dies!! I'm impressed with how easily they separated. Thank you for sharing.

[@judyhoell3449]

I have all those nips in my garage. Didn’t know they cut 8n different directions. Thanks for sharing

[@DawnsStampingThoughts]

LOL! I think we were both holding our breath with that first cut WHEW! 😉 After the 1st cut it was so much easier 💜

[@sharisstampinstudio9286]

Thanks for the video Dawn! I was going thru my stamp sets and pulled this one out and thought, I'm not sure if I will ever use it because it is too big. When I bought it, I didn't realize the stamp was one big stamp. It sat in my room unused for a year. When I pulled it out today, I wondered if anyone had cut them apart so I googled it and here you are! Worked like a charm! My husband had the snips in his toolbox, and that worked great on the die! I used a metal file to shave down any sharp edges and voila! I have a butterfly stamp set that will now get used!! Thank you!

[@teresajones3551]

You're hubby is awesome!!

[@brendalodge5633]

Great video and BIG applause for your hubby☺️👏👏👏

[@eliseabbott10]

THANK YOU! I've wondered what you can use to cut the dies apart. I appreciate that he tried them all and gave his best recommendation. Very helpful!

[@butterflygal31]

Oh my! This breaks my heart. I absolutely love that it's a big background stamp and I can cut all 6 in one pass! I was able to stamp, color them, and cut all at once. I would never even consider doing this!

[@mitzibud6908]

Great to have such a nice and handy hubby!!

[@annettedubois2998]

Thank you so much for taking them apart also thank your husband for showing us great job

[@ednam7]

I've done stamps for about 30 years, but struggle with the dies that are all together. I finally found a fine die cutter on some web site and bought it. It sometimes leaves a rough edge but better than one big die. Thanks to your husband for showing how he did it.

[@DawnsStampingThoughts]

Edna you can also use a Dremel sander to sand the rough spots if you want .. I have no issue with the few I have as long as that work I'm good to go 💜

[@ednam7]

@@DawnsStampingThoughts We don't have a dremel, but I have a big carpenter file that works pretty well, but the little rough sports are ok with me. Thanks.

[@bunnytoes7200]

I think fact that the stamps are connected to match the dies means even after you have no more of the beautiful paper you can still use a negative off cut to stamp all the images at once through the off cut and then colour if desired and finally cut all the butterflies at once is the reason this set is exceptional, to me. What a genius bundle!

[@DawnsStampingThoughts]

Most definitely! I love it both ways too, but more practical for me separated . That's what's so awesome about being a crafter - There's no right or wrong way ~ Enjoy your bundle 💜

[@angelabeatty6538]

I can’t be the only one here from your pedi, right??!!❤️❤️ as soon as you said you had a stampin up channel I had to stop your pedi and come over😍😍 Who knew you could do this🤓

[@DawnsStampingThoughts]

Welcome Angela . So happy you clicked over . Stamping has come a long way baby . So many beautiful things can be made with this medium .

[@inekegeernaert801]

Oh wow, Dawn - here's to hoping my husband has the right tools ... I prefer the smaller stamps & dies, too. I mean, it was an awesome idea by SU, but I find it more practical when they're all cut apart. Thank your husband for me, please!

[@suemack1941]

Hi, Dawn Thanks for sharing this 'how to' video Your hubby sounds so patient! How sweet of him to share his toys with us! ;o)

[@shirleymartin1004]

Thank you Dawn. I bought another butterfly 🦋 stamp set to cut up. Because I wanted a background stamp and a individual butterfly 🦋 set.

[@DawnsStampingThoughts]

Wonderful!💜

[@janazavitz212]

I never thought of cutting the dies! Thanks for sharing how to do this!

[@suziec9959]

Thanks, Dawn, so much for this video. I had gotten a second set of the Butterfly Brilliance stamps, but hadn’t started cutting them until I watched you demo-ing the process. (That was yesterday.). Today I stamped all of them and the images all turned out beautifully. I won’t be cutting up my die, but thank your hubby for demonstrating that part🙂 Thank you, again, from SWFL 🌴🌺🌴

[@lisak2575]

I like that you showed how you cut them apart. I haven't purchased it, but am thinking on it. I like the idea of all of them together, but would be more useful apart, I think. Thanks for showing and explaining. Thank you husband for the lesson on the tools he used.

[@DawnsStampingThoughts]

Lisa I felt the same way but for me personally I would use them more separated . It's a tough call. I was thinking if I still wanted the one whole stamp I could purchase the bundle again ( since I'm a demo I get a discount too and this set will be in the next annual catalog too) It's a win /win 💜

[@NorthStarStamperSueKremer]

Excellent! I bought a second stamp set back when it was on sale and am just cutting it apart now. Thanks Dawn and your hubby, too!

[@anjah71]

Hello Dawn, I'm Anja from Germany and I'm excited about your video and the idea of ​​cutting up the dies. I'll do that too, I've already cut my stamp. Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to new videos from you, best regards Anja 💁‍♀️😘😉👋

[@sandras.3560]

Yeah, this is exactly what I wanted to know. Can I separate that die. Now I will give it a try. Maybe my tools are way to small but I already know that my father in law has those huge tools. The only reason to keep it together is for cutting the Butterflys from the dsp. But that would still work with the die in parts. So lets do it!

Hi and thank you. I'm new to stamping, and I had bought a set of clear rubber letter and number stamps. I didn't know they would be all one sheet! I was wondering if you have ever cut a sheet of letter and number stamps apart? They are tiny and it seems it'll be hard to accurately cut them apart. Any ideas, or tips you can share, please? Thanks!

I bought a second stamp set a few weeks back and separated my butterflies in that set. 🙂

[@DawnsStampingThoughts]

YAY!! Double the fun that way 💜

[@Gretchenmomof7]

I'm thinking the same thing, getting a second set to separate. We could still use the whole die to cut individual butterflies, right? I'm not confident enough to try cutting my dies.

@@DawnsStampingThoughts thank you, that’s really helpful.

[@marlenenicholl6825]

I saw Jennifer MaGuire stamp the whole block of sentiments , then cut them all with the die, then store them in a see through baggie - also, now that you have separated yours you could number them with a marker pen - example: one goes with one, two with two - easier to match them up

[@DawnsStampingThoughts]

Love that idea . We thought of another way too, I will share that in the glitter pit next week 💜

[@lorettabryant2316]

Great idea...but remember, that by separating/altering the stamps and dies, it makes the SU guarantee null and void

[@DawnsStampingThoughts]

Yes . But it’s a stamp set and die not a car What guarantee is needed . I took responsibility when cutting my bundle and I love it even more . 💜💜💜💜

I bought this set and after separating them iI found that the stickers wouldn't stick to them. As for many messages, I would never have bought it if I had known it was like it was. I didn't notice the die was available as t was further across the page so I ended up ordering it. I was not happy.
